reminisc-ang

• So far who did you talk to the most today?
  Huh - probably "The Lickster" [one of my colleagues, who must remain nameless]
• What is the best name for a butler?
  Jeeves
• What was your last weird encounter?
  Talking to the boring annoying married liar on Friday.
• What's the weirdest story of one of your scars?
  Getting thrown through a window during a drunken card game in college - that's why my left leg is a little more bumpy than it should be.
• Do you remember the part from Bambi when Bambi learns to say bear?
  My knowledge of Bambi is pretty shaky.
• Were there bears in Bambi?
  The Cat says no, so - probably not.
• What color is your toothbrush?
  Yellow?
• What is your middle name spelled backwards?
  nope (or epon)
  
• Can you eat well with chopsticks?
  Only via the stab-and-gobble method.
• What odd things creep you out?
  All odd things creep me out.
• Have you ever felt an earthquake?
  Yup. For proof, see this post.
• What do you do with the hot grease when you’re done cooking bacon?
  [This question was the reason that I chose to do this quiz.]
  I carefully pour it into an empty orange juice can that I keep in the freezer. When the can is full, I throw it away. Now, isn't that better than what you were afraid of?
• What's the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
  Goose. Didn't like it at all. I didn't think it was "weird" so much as "disgustingly rich" and not to my liking. So...weird. Hmm. Macaroni & Cheese with peas mixed in. *shudder*
• What color are your socks today?
  No socks. It's summer!
• What is your favorite word that starts with the letter G?
  "gleek"
• Who do you blame for your mood today?
  No blame. My mood is not disordered today.
• If Ricky Martin had a trademark what would it be?
  Thank God the question wasn't about a patent. Anyway...I guess it would have to be his hideous sense of rhythm, considering how well-known he is for dancing. Turn off the volume sometime and watch him dance! He looks like a wind-up doll.
• What is something scientists need to invent?
  Truly light-blocking draperies.
• What is the closest object to your left foot?
  My right foot.
• Who is your favorite Golden Girl?
  meh
• Do you have an inside joke that has to do with numbers?
  The only thing I can think of is about Evelyn and drink proportions.
• What is the longest amount of hours you have slept in a row?
  [Very badly-phrased question! Bad. Bad.]
  I've slept at least 18 hours at a stretch.
• How do ugly people make you feel?
  Pretty.
• What are the posters on your walls?
  Uh, I don't have posters on my walls. There are Rothko prints and photographs. And hats.
• Say two words that rhyme:
  muddle puddle
• Do you use online terms in real life?
  You mean, "el oh el" rather than laughing? Holy fuck no - and if I do, please punch me in the fucking face!
• What do you think people think of you?
  I don't know. Ask them.
• Do you think this year will be better than the last?
  Maybe. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
  To hold onto these moments as they pass...
• Who is the 1st person on your incoming call list and how do you feel about them?
  My sort-of cousin Ronda. I think she's wonderful: one of those terrifically caring, funny, delightful people who you really count yourself lucky to know.
• Do you know who Salad Fingers is?
  No clue.
• What is the stupidest thing you have ever done?
  Johnnie. Not him, but, just, all that.
• What is your favorite commercial of the moment?
  There's a Subway ad involving people eating too heavily and blowing up, sort of. Makes me laugh every time.
• What does it take to make you cry?
  Not much. I've sniffled (or more) my way through a few novels lately. It's a macro-mood thing.
• What are you looking forward to?
  Walking tomorrow. Dinner Thursday. Getting my car back. The return of The Cat.
• Have you ever cried because you thought you were ugly?
  Yeah, probably nonstop from age 13-16.

  Only in my dreams....

  {yuck}
• What is missing from your life?
  Johnnie
• Would you be ashamed if you wore hippie clothes?
  uh, no?
• Grab the closest book, what does the 7th sentence on the 27th page say?
  "I was loving this, although hoping for the assistance of a gurney to get me back to my bed when it was all over." (from A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain)
  Second try: "Indeed, remaining out of the war did not ease the way into the 1920s." (from my MA thesis)
• When was the last time you slept with a stuffed animal?
  Junior high school?
• If it was your last day on earth what shoes would you wear?
  I really cannot imagine caring, but just for the sake of argument...black silk wrap dress with 3" heels, seamed hose, elbow-length gloves, and a fringed velvet scarf, carrying a black silk bag.
• Do you own a Super Nintendo?
  No
• What do you think of Law and Order?
  I like the show. I think Jeremy Sisto is crazy-hot, and his current partner (Anthony Anderson) is excellent in his role as well. I'm dying to hear Linus Roache's real British accent, but I don't think it's going to happen on L&I. I love how they've implied a strong love of baseball in that character, since he's as English as Earl Grey.
  The other versions of the show don't do as much for me, though I do very much like Vincent D'Onofrio (from L&I Criminal Intent). SVU is just too "Oprah book" for me, by which I mean unremittingly dark and depressing. If I wanted to feel like that all the time, I'd jab myself with a fork, not watch television.
• Can you name all 7 dwarfs?
  Doc, Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Happy, and...I forgot Bashful.
• Have you ever pretended to be Jewish?
  uh, no. Why...?
• What was the last thing you thought you lost, but ended up finding it?
  Probably something at work.
• What were you doing at midnight last night?
  Sleeping, fitfully and in an awkward position.
• If you had a ball of clay what would you mold it into?
  A lump. I'm very bad with clay. I should post a photo of my duck mug sometime, as proof.
• What does your Milkshake bring to the yard?
  Catcalls.
• Do you have any famous relatives?
  God, I hope not. It wouldn't be for anything good.
